Tudo muito arrumado e bem cuidado. Porém as instalações dos quartos não são exatamente muito novas
Havia cheiro de refluxo em algum lugar do banheiro

Disappointing
The view is breathtaking
Cleanliness is lacking virtually everywhere, inside rooms and outside. Even the restaurant. The hotel needs a serious makeup. No hand towels. No towels for the pool. Glass doors do not close properly. Pool seating is torn and old.

Great views from the room. Good food and drinks at the restaurant.
Maintenance was lacking. The tub leaked into the patio when it drained, the chair in the room was broken.

The views are amazing, people at front desk are very nice. The room was very big.
The property needs a lot, but a los of maintenance. There were debri in the rooftop and the staris dont seem to be very well mantained.

Very Poor
Staff was nice. Rooms are in good condition but not clean.
The biggest problem was the water shortage in the morning from wake up till check-out. We have to brush our teeth with the water in the room, which was charged in the check-out. We had a long three leg flight that night, we could not take shower in the morning, even we could not use the toilet in our own room! I understand this may happen. However, if you are paying 330 euros per night, then you are not expecting something like this before your long flight. They need to have some kind of water storage, if they are getting huge amount of money from a room per night. The room was not clean. we tried to use hot tub, it was not hot and nor clean.

Very Poor
Where to start. When we arrived, the room was very dirty, with moist on the walls, even with a bug. The hot water didn't work, just almost after 2 hours of trying. Despite the fact that the staff was nice and the breakfast was good, the price of the room was too much expensive for what it offers: 1. always for the hot water you had to wait 2-3 hours, 2. the jacuzzi was dirty, with bio -hazard leftovers 3. old furniture For 250 Euro per night you would expect a very nice experience, but it's more like a 2 stars hotel, that just have nice view. The photos from the website does not match the reality.
Dirty, with moist, no hot water, dangerous dirty jacuzzi, incredible expensive for what it offers. Maximum 2 stars with a price of 5 star hotel. More staff especially for cleaning. Also to get there it is complicated and just with Uber is reachable, because by night it is really dangerous.
